Along the way, Luigi finds a letter that tells him that he has won a mansion in a raffle, Mario tells him that he should not trust but Luigi leaves. Next, Mario is attacked, he can't alone and when it seems that everything is finished, Toadette appears riding Yoshi and they save Mario. Once they arrive, they fight against DK and make him understand that Mario is not like his father and that he would never do that to anyone. DK becomes a potential ally. After a very great sermon, Captain Toad gives his consent to go on an adventure with him, on the condition that he was trained by Mario. The post-credit scene is similar to Kirby's.
